Media Encoder CS6 won't render queued project from Pr CS6

What's up with Adobe? All of a sudden, Pr CS6 no longer works with AME. I Queue from Pr and AME launches with file in Queue. I press Render button, and it takes several minutes before anything shows up in a the Encoding tab. When it does, I get an endless "Connecting to Dynamic Link server..." message, before finally, after several minutes, it fails. Log states that it can't read the source file. I suspect this is a Dynamic Link issue, since the source file is exactly where the log says it should be. I've noticed recently that Dynamic Link hung up also when trying to send a clip to Ae to round trip effects back to Pr. I just ended up doing the work in Ae and imported it manually into Pr. So much for the heralded 'interoperability'. You spend a couple grand on CS6 Master Collection to have all the tools, and many of them have all kinds of issues. Au, for example, crashes 75% of the time when I open it. Reopen it again and it works fine. Ae often continually gives me 'program has stopped working' dialog with an option to quit, and many times it is talking about one of many instances it has launched in the background, and when I say 'quit', the main program I see just keeps on working. And now, out of the blue, Pr / AME queuing stopped working. It's worked since I installed CS6 over a year ago with no issues, with th elast time being about a month ago, now it doesn't. BTW, I'm on CS6 on an HP Z820. Win 7 Ultimate. And I tried all the solutions posted under the similar problem someone posted about the CC version. Confirmed that dynamiclinkmanager is running.

Huh?
If you can find something better than After Effects CC (12.2) with the Detail-Preserving Upscale effect for up-saling, I want to know what it is.

Media Encoder CC won't render Magic Bullet Denoiser II

Hello there,
i've got the following Problem: I am having Premiere CC and used the Red Giant Plug-In Denoiser II on my last project, when i import this project to the Media Encoder and select Quicktime for output, the Media Encoder won't render the clip with this Plug-In. i always get the original files out, without the denoiser. Original footage from in premiere is 2,5k CinemaDNG RAW from the Black Magic Cinema Camera.
thx

I feel like there was a recent update to the RG plugins (inside of the last 30 or so days.) Are they up to date?

Media Encoder CC won't queue

When I attempt to queue from Adobe Premiere Pro CC to Media Encoder CC using any quicktime setting from the "Format" drop down menu in the export dialog box, Media Encoder just sits there doing nothing.
No luck with the following forum, which suggests a bunch of solutions, (restart AME holding down shift, quit hung instances of Adobe stuff from the activity monitor, etc., etc.) all of which I've tried, to no avail.
Media Encoder won't queue
If I queue up with any other preset, such as H.264. Everything works fine. But I need to export to quicktime and I have a big series of small clips to export that I need to get started on, so this is really frustrating...
I'm running OS X (10.10) with the latest CC builds of Premiere Pro and Media Encoder..

Yes, import into premiere work fine. The nice part about using AME directly is you don't have to have to create a project or use an old one every time you want to crunch a timelapse. Also, AME has this nice feature where it will autoname the output file IMG[FirstStill]-[LastStill] (ie IMG[GP001234-GP001297]). This was helpful because GoPros change the first number in the sequence every time you stop and start time lapse.

Media Encoder CC won't import a JPEG sequence to the queue

I am running Media Encoder CC 7.2.2.29 (64-bit) on OSX 10.9.4.
I have a JPEG sequence GoPro timelapse image sequence that I want to encode into a video clip. All files have a .jpg extension. They are 4000x3000 and have an RGB color space. The Color profile is SRGB IEC61966-21. All images are 3.9MB.
According to the ME help I should do the following.
To add an image sequence, choose File > Add Source. In the Open dialog box, choose the first file of the image sequence. Enable the Sequence Import checkbox for your file type, and then click the Open button.
I follow the instructions and select the first image in the sequence. The "JPEG File Sequence" checkbox is active and I check it and click the Open button. The dialog disappears and nothing happens. There are no warnings.
How does one get JPEG sequences to import to the queue?
Please advise.

Media Encoder CS5 hangs during render

I've created a project in Premiere Pro CS5 (64-bit) on Windows 7 Pro x64. It's 28 minutes long. When I try to render it in Media Encoder CS5 (to YouTube Widescreen HD), it gets about 2/3 of the way through and then stops. It doesn't close, it just freezes. Not always at the same place (I've tried four times). If I click on Stop Queue, it asks if I'm sure and when I say Yes (click on "No," actually), it hangs and Windows presents its "Close the program?" dialog, followed by a dialog saying, "PProHeadless.exe has stropped working" and asking if I want to close that, too. I say yes and return to the desktop. I modified the render to VBR 2-pass from VBR 1-pass, to see if it would at least get through the first pass without hanging, but it didn't.
I've created dozens of projects with these tools, most shorter but some longer, and have never had this problem. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Michael,
Sorry to hear you're having problems with Adobe Media Encoder. I'd like to get some more information about the problem so I can better understand your workflow, and potentially try to recreate the problem. For what it's worth, I often import files of different resolutions without any problem, so I want to find out what's different about how you're using AME.
Apologies for the long list of questions; the small details can be important.
-- After you import the first file, what else do you do in AME? Change the preset? Change the settings? Change the output destination?
-- What are the properties of the files that are causing the problem? You said it happens on "non-standard" files, but can you describe the specifications for one or more files that cause the problem? Please include file type, length, frame rate, frame dimensions, field order (if applicable), alpha mode (if applicable), and audio type and rate. If you know more the bitrate, both video and audio, that would be nice, too.
-- If any of the files are small enough, could you post a couple online that I could try on my machine?
-- How were these files generated? What application created them?
-- Where are the files stored? A local drive, a network drive, a removeable drive (USB or Firewire), etc.?
-- Which Adobe application or suite do you have installed? AME a limited set of options if you're using Flash or Web Premium compared to Master Collection, Production Premium, Premiere Pro, or After Effects.

Media Encoder CC Won't Encode

I use Media Encoder CS6 by exporting from Premiere Pro and then using presets in Media Encoder.
Now after upgrading Premiere to CC, the Media Encoder CC will queue my sequence but when I press the green play button, nothing happens. I left it over night and still nothing happened.
What can I do to make it work?

Hi,
Click on go option, selct go to folder and in the box type ~/library and click ok. In Library folder go to Preferences/Adobe/Adobe media encoder and rename the folder 7.0 to old7.0. Launch the product again and it will create a new Preference.

Media Encoder doesn't recognize custom export settings from Premiere Pro CS6

When I use export media in Pr CS6 and use custom settings (H.264) and click Queue when it arrives in Media Encoder none of the custom settings are there, instead it always defaults to .F4V.
Here is a screenshot of custom settings in Pr CS6:
And here is what happens in Media Encoder:
Thanks for your help!
Nick

So, it looks like Media Encoder is stuck in a trial version? The only formats available are indeed .f4v, .flv, .mp3 & h.264. Is a reinstall of Media Encoder the fix?

Media Encoder CC won't launch

I've been succesfully working with media encoder for sometime now but it won't start for some reason. Using Mac OS 10.6.8, icore 7 proc, 16gb RAM, Encoder CC 6.0.2 what's causing this?

Thanks, It started working after I logged into my Adobe account. Curious if that had anything to do with it. I also tried a few options (similar to this) I found in the forum which didn't help until I restarted. Not sure which one did it but it's all good now. Thanks!

Adobe Media Encoder CC won't start if flash player plugin is installed

Few days ago I installed windows 8.1 pro on a brand new PC and I was having problem starting AME, clicking on icon simply doesn't sort any effect, the software didn't open. I tried starting it as administrator, deleting \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\, reinstalling any CC program and even using AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool didn't solve the problem.
At the same time, I was having problem with flash player and firefox; it was just crashing at start, for example at the beginning of a youtube video. Even reinstalling the plugin or firefox itself won't resolve the issue. I resolved by disabling protected mode on flash and after that, the plugin works perfectly in firefox.
Going back to the AME problem, after a few tries, I managed to resolve it by doing this:
- uninstall Premiere pro and relative AME
- uninstall Creative Cloud app
- uninstall flash player plugin
- run AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool and clearing ALL the stuff
- install CC app
- install PP and relative AME
- NOT INSTALLING flash player plugin for firefox
Only by doing this, AME starts without any problem. Even after a couple of reboots, it starts nicely.
After that, I tried to reinstall flash player plugin for firefox. Just after install, with firefox still closed, i disabled the protected mode to avoid any crashes. And by this point, AME won't start anymore. By just installing the flash player plugin (without even let it crash once) AME doesn't start. The only thing that worked was to uninstall everything again, use the cleaner tool, reinstall CC and leaving firefox without the flash plugin. At this point AME starts without any problem. I tried again to reinstall flash plugin and voilà, again AME simply can't start.
What should i do to fix this? It sounds so stupid that i have to choose between flash plugin or AME, why they can't live togheter on my system? Maybe i just have to wait for an update (for firefox or flash) and see if it changes anything?
Here are some specs of my system, if it helps:
winows 8.1 pro x64 updated
16gb ram
Intel i7 3820
GeForce GTX 670
latest version of flash, CC and firefox
no plugins installed for any CC software
flash on internet explorer works well

I finally find out how to fix this.
With flash plugin installed and protected mode disabled, I also disabled hardware acceleration in flash plugin options. So I re-enabled protected mode and the plugin worked fine.
After that, I uninstalled everything from adobe, used cleaner tool and than reinstalled all the stuff. Now AME works fine.
Hope this fix will help someone.

Adobe Media Encoder: Audio won't export with video

I am trying to convert an AVCHD video for viewing on my iPad 3. I use Adobe Media Encoder and select the iPad 2 settings (1920x1080) and it exports the video perfect, but no audio. I have "Export Audio" checked off. I tried it with 5 other settings and it just wont include the audio. Any ideas?

Seems random people are running in to this, so hopefully this solution will be found by whomever's looking.
If you're exporting video files from Final Cut Pro as .mov, and then trying to convert said .mov to an .mp4 using Adobe Media Encoder and are losing audio even though you're multiplexing, try this...
Make sure that you export only a 2-channel audio track from FCP. When I export from FCP, I split my audio into various tracks by default. Great for making master clips, but problematic if uploading to YouTube or doing further encoding in Adobe Media Encoder. Like YouTube, if you have more than 2 tracks of audio, Media Encoder seems to get confused and ignores all audio tracks. Combine all audio into a 2-channel stereo track and see if that solves the problem.
Regardless of editing program, see if reducing number of audio channels from source clip solves problem.

Media Encoder CS4 won't launch

Hello,
I am trying to use Media Encoder CS4 but it will not launch. It seems to get hung up on "ImporterQT.bundle".
I am on a Mac G5 Dual 2.5 GHz Power PC running OSX 10.5.7
Please help! I'm on a really tight deadline.
Thanks!

ImporterQT.bundle may be missing or corrupt
uninstall Media Encoder using the package in \Applications\Utilities\Adobe Installers
then reinstall.

Media Encoder CS4 won't update - Mac

I have CS4 and Adobe media encoder 4.1.0 will not update,
I have downloaded it via software update and then it installs and after a check of software update it asks me to update exactly what I just updated.
Does anyone know how I can sort this issue out?

Hi Jagan,
Thanks for the response.
After installing the CS4 Design Suite Premium, I moved all the apps/folders to a newly-created "Adobe" folder inside my applications folder. I always ran the Updater to check and download the updates. I didn't pay attention to the success of the updates, since they always ended with a dialog box that said "Finished". It's only when I noticed that it was downloading the Media Encoder update over and over again, that I got suspicious. When I looked in my Applications folder, The "Apple" folder I created was still there, but there was also a new "Media Encoder CS4" folder, which was not there before.
I deleted this new "Media Encoder CS4" folder and ran Updater again. Updater then downloaded the new version and installed it. Unfortunately, the Media Encoder CS4 in my "Apple" folder was not updated to the new version, but that duplicate Media Encoder CS4 folder was back
I browsed through the other messages here about update problems, and I decided to re-install the Media Encoder CS4. I trashed the duplicate folder and put in the DVD. In order to re-install the Media Encoder, I had to also re-install Flash CS4. I did so, then ran the Updater again (I did not change the location of any of the re-installed programs prior to the update). Lo and behold, Media Encoder was updated correctly! I continued the remaining updates to get my software back to the current versions. I thought I was home-free, but unfortunately I wasn't
Although Media Encoder was updated correctly, now Drive Manager and Acrobat Reader are not getting updated. The update installer says that the updates completed successfully, but when I run the Updater again, it identifies those same 2 programs as needing updates.
I downloaded the updates manually, but installing them did not update the programs.
If you have any other ideas, I would greatly appreciate it!
Mike

Media Encoder suddenly won't recognize Quicktime files...

Hi there...
I'm on a Mac, and out of the blue, Media Encoder suddenly doesn't recognize Quicktime .mov files. It says this file format is not supported. Which is weird, because it was supporting it just fine this morning! Does anyone know what might be wrong or how to fix this?
Thanks for your help!

Im having the same issue. Were you able to resolve it?

Media Encoder 6.0.3 : Unable to read from the source

Hi !
I'm using Premiere and Media Encoder in tandem for a while now for a big project, but since last week, something screwed up and I can't export from Media Encoder anymore. Every time I try to encode with Media Encoder, it tries to conect to the Dynamic Link server, and then fails to do so, and shows the error in the title. And since I cannot encode directly in Premiere (it just doesn't work, but that's nothing new), that means my project is on hold until the problem is fixed...
I googled my problem and find some solutions. I tried to create shortcuts to Premiere in the dynamiclink and the Keyfiles/dynamiclink folder, but that didn't work.
I uninstalled and reinstalled CS6 two times (the second time with the CC Cleaner Adobe provides to clean after uninstalling CS6), but that changed nothing.
I tried to unlock the permissions to the folders of my project, but that didn't help to solve my problem.
Now I'm out of ideas, so I post here, hoping for an answer. I'm almost certain the problem is from the Dynamic Link with Premiere, as the link between Premiere and After Effects doesn't work either (anything not related to Premiere works well though, After Effects can link with Media Encoder, but Premiere won't. The file is still being transfered to Media Encoder, but it can't start the encoding).
I previously had CS5.5 on my computer (and maybe CS4, but I don't remember), but I'm almost sure all of them are all wiped now, with the CC Cleaner and all.
I should mention that I'm using these softwares as part of the CS6 Master Collection (everything is up to date according to the Application Manager) on a Windows 7 x64 hardware

Update : I created a new account on my computer to test if the problem still occurs. And surprisingly, it doesn't occur... I'm able to use the dynamic link properly, and all is up and running.
It works as a workaround for now, but I would seriously like to solve the problem on my main account. So something is wrong on my main account. I checked my firewall, but that seems okay (no results even when my firewall is deactivated).
I should mention that the path Media Encoder use to link with Premiere has non-ASCII characters in it (such as é, è, etc.). Could that be the cause ? If so, how can I change that path ? (currently to User/<username>/AppData/Local/Temp). Is there an option, or even an environment variable for that ?
I've also noticed that the file created for the cache on my main account is slightly smaller than the one on my test account (749 ko on main and 778 ko on test). This should be the same file, so the weight should be the same... Could it be some kind of corruption that prevents dynamic link for working ?
